As Iceman said, a little spendy for patterned lLED stoplight for the $249 one, the 12 LED $499 one is a bit over the top. Kuryakin sells "plain but extremely bright one in red or smoke for $163 at the HD dealer, no waiting and features plug and play installation which I like.
It was $199 at my Harley dealer and they had them in stock, for the couple extra bucks I like the flash first feature. :s This is also a simple plug and play installation, took me 10 minutes with just a screwdriver.

Is it this one the dealer is selling for $139 on their website?

Good deal RKlew, my comment was on the $249 and $499 ones...having the auto flash feature for $30 over the Küryakyn is sweet...! :small3d036:

No that is the Harley light and it doesn't have the flash mode. The one I got is made by "Brightasslights" from Florida.
I think the flash to steady mode is legal here, I'll look into it to make sure. My son has one that will flash 3 tiimes and go steady and he passed inspection here.

I first bought the superbright led bulb replacement for around $25, I think the old stock was brighter, I just put on the Brightass led tail light, what a difference, I noticed this weekend that cars behind me we not stopping as close as they use to, the Brightass seems to get the drivers attention, I want something really bright since I live in SE Florida (the old people here don't see much) I ride A1A a lot, I noticed many bicycles that have the flasshing red lights, wonder why it would be different for us.

What setting are you using? I have on the #2 alert, it flashes 3 times twice and then goes on steady.
I had the Panacea LED Turn Signals & Tail Light System installed on my 2008 Road King before I picked it up. They flash then go steady when the brake is applied.
When I'm stopped at a light and see a car approaching, I will release the brake and reapply it to make the lights flash again. I continue doing that until the car stops behind me. I just feel safer having the flashing light on the rear.
